Why You’ll Love This Tour: Uncover Hidden Gems & Iconic Landmarks Stand in awe before the majestic Barcelona Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with its soaring spires and hidden cloister. Discover the Roman Temple of Augustus, a stunning relic of Barcino (Roman Barcelona) tucked away in a medieval courtyard. Step inside the Palau Reial Major, the former palace of Catalan kings, and walk the same halls where Ferdinand and Isabella received Columbus after his New World voyage.
